# Nmap Changelog ($Id$); -*-text-*-
o [NSE] Restored the ability of http.head to return a body if the
server returns one. This was lost in the http.lua overhaul from
5.20. [David]
o [NSE] Fixed the use of our strict.lua library on distributions that
install their own strict.lua. The error message was
nse_main.lua:97: attempt to call a boolean value
It was reported by Onur K. [Patrick]
o [NSE] Corrected a behavior change in http.request that was
accidentally made in 5.20: it could return nil instead of a table
indicating failure. [David]
o [NSE] Fixed the use of an undefined variable in smb-enum-sessions,
reported by Brandon. [Ron]
o Fixed a compiler error when --without-liblua is used. [Brandon]
o [NSE] Did some simple bit-flipping on the nmap_service.exe program
used by the smb-psexec script, to avoid its being falsely detected
as malware. [Ron]
o [NSE] Fixed an error with running http-enum.nse along with the
--datadir option. The script would report the error
http-enum.nse:198: bad argument #1 to 'lines'
(nselib/data/http-fingerprints: No such file or directory)
The error was reported by Ron Meldau and Brandon. [Kris]
o Fixed a stack overflow that would happen when a nameserver entry in
/etc/resolv.conf contained more than 16 bytes, as could legitimately
happen with an IPv6 address. Gunnar Lindberg reported the problem
and contributed an initial patch, then Brandon and Kris refined and
implemented it.
o [Zenmap] Added a workaround for a Ubuntu Python packaging idiosyncrasy.
As of version python2.6-2.6.4-0ubuntu3, Ubuntu's distutils modifies
self.prefix, a variable we use in the setup.py script. This would
cause Zenmap to look in the wrong place for its configuration files,
and show the dialog "Error creating the per-user configuration
directory" with the specific error "[Errno 2] No such file or
directory: '/usr/share/zenmap/config'". This problem was reported by
Chris Clements, who also helped debug. [David]
[NOT YET RELEASED]
o Added better match lines for MIT Kerberos from Matt Selsky.

o [Ndiff] Show a nicer error message when an input file can't be
loaded. Suggested by Derril Lucci, who also contributed a patch.
o Added a function that was missing from http-favicon.nse. Its absence
would cause the error
http-favicon.nse:141: variable 'dirname' is not declared
when a web page specified an relative icon URL through the link
element. This bug was reported by Ron Meldau. [David]
o Fixed an error that occurred when UDP scan was combined with version
scan. UDP ports would appear in the state "unknown" at the end of
the scan, and in some cases an assertion failure would be raised.
This was an unintended side effect of the memory use reduction
changes in 5.20. The bug was reported by Jon Kibler. [David]
o [NSE] Fixed a bug in http.lua that could lead to an assertion
failure. It happened when there was an error getting the a response
at the beginning of a batch in http.pipeline. The symptoms of the
bug were:
NSE: Received only 0 of 1 expected reponses.
Decreasing max pipelined requests to 0.
NSOCK (0.1870s) Write request for 0 bytes...
nmap: nsock_core.c:516: handle_write_result: Assertion `bytesleft > 0' failed.
The error was reported by Brandon Enright and pyllyukko.
o [NSE] Added the new dns-service-discovery script which uses DNS-SD
to identify services. DNS-SD is one part of automatic configuration
technologies known by names such as Bonjour, Rendezvous, and

script shows shares and their permissions. [Patrik Karlsson]
o Fixed a bug with the decoding of NMAP OID component values greater
than 127. [Patrik Karlsson, David]
o Added an Apple Filing Protocol service probe that detects Netatalk
servers. (Apple's AFP servers are coincidentally triggered by the
SSLSessionReq probe.) [Patrik Karlsson]
